What Is Wrong With This Photograph? Part 115

Does this signal a sign for the future?

After dining on pastrami and corned beef sandwiches at The General Muir — of which I wrote a review of my experience in this article here at The Gate — I happened to be walking around the corner near the headquarters for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the United States recently; and I photographed something which caught my eye near the main entrance of its campus.

  1. The crossing sign might be confusing because it is not in the correct order. At the top, it should read “to cross push button”. The arrow is the direction of crossing, but could be confused for the location of the button.

    At the top should be the first instruction, which is to push button. Then it should read about crossing, don’t start, and don’t cross.

    What is right about the photo is that the museum is named after Dr. David Sencer, head of the CDC, whom President Jimmy Carter fired for political reasons. The museum keeps his name alive.

  2. Derek – The signs commonly have the “push button” at the bottom – just above the button itself.

    It could be the angle of the picture, but I do not see the normal crosswalk road markings, or the indicator light on the other side of the street.

    1. I thought of that too, the lack of crosswalk markings, but I went to Google Street View and can confirm that there is a normal looking crosswalk to the left and down just beyond the photo’s edge.

      What is also wrong is that there are no protesters in the photo. Why are there not people in front of the CDC with signs reading…

      Doom. The End is Near. Repent.

      Vaxes are hoax. Ivermectin is all that we need.

  3. A pedestrian wrapped their spent/ saturated mask between the two traffic buttons. Is this a joke or flagrant disregard for public safety? Gross!
